The German-French cooperation project by students from the art academies in Biarritz and Kassel will be presented at the FIPADOC International Documentary Film Festival: FOREST OF FRAMES.
In the early months of 2023, a group of students from the Ecole supérieure d'art Pays Basque (ESAPB) and the Kunsthochschule Kassel approached the Reinhardswald in a joint film project to discover the complex web of interdependencies that make up the forest (trees, mushrooms, animals, people). A multi-layered film that contains performative, documentary, essayistic and experimental forms. Video, 8mm, 16mm, photography, digital 3D and phytography are brought together in this film. Each chapter represents a different frame that can be formed from the forest.
